Episode Date: July 31, 2019

Join Denis, Ivan and Mike as they complain about California people problems, teach you how to fix a flat tire on a scooter, and a special surprise at the very end! Thanks to ItsDaMuneeROW#2020 for the artwork! Let us know what you think about the podcast at discord.gg/nzxt

What's going on, homies? Welcome to the NZT Club podcast number two. My name is Dennis, aka DenzExte in the Discord. With me, we have Ivan. Hi. And Mike Kim. Hi, I'm Mike. I'm Mike.

I'm Mike Kim. Our intern ZXT Mike Kim on on Discord. What's going on, guys? Podcast number two. You guys ready for this one? Podcast number two. Second. Squared.

Yeah, two squared. This is the A side, right? Yeah. Poor Griff. Yeah. So we try to record. another podcast the other day. Yesterday.

Yesterday, yeah. Yesterday is the other day. That is another day. Yeah, so I'm not wrong on that. The other day yesterday with Griff was our other intern. He's actually the intern for an intern. So Mike tells him what to do, and I told Mike what to do. And the quality was not that great.

So we're probably going to say that for like a B-side special edition kind of release later on. I'm kind of glad we're not releasing it because I think I gave some bad advice. I was thinking about it later. I was like, I probably should have said something more professional in the popular advice. No, but it's true, though. You know, like, I mean, we don't really, we can get popular advice any time, though. Like, you can look up like a TED talk or something like that. But, like, when we want real advice.

You're saying I should be out on a TED talk now. You good. You could. Give a thing on how to do social media correctly. What about the title of your TED Talk be? Why you should kiss your Discord homies good night. Point one. And another fun fact.

Point two, getting tucked in. That are probably tuck in your homies. So this time, on the podcast, we did something a little different. I know last time it was a little bit more structured, so we're just going to try something a little more free form and just basically shoot the crap and just hang out and talk about whatever. And actually I was thinking about this on the way over here. I went to Korean barbecue last night.

Thanks for the invite. Yeah, no worries. Anytime. time and I'm gonna call this segment California people problems because I'm pretty sure like 90% of the people don't ever experience this but the thing I hate most about going to Korean barbecue is that when you have like the little so for those who don't know Korean barbecue is like a big table everyone sits around there's like a grill in the middle you ask for your meat and you grill it and you know it's like a little knob for the fire and for some reason every single Korean barbecue place we've gone to 50 people walk by every like five minutes and change the temperature they like lower or like heightened the flame on it and it always annoys the heck out of me because I'm like let me let me control it I know how to cook meat it's not hard that's what you get for

going to a restaurant where you have to cook your own food I'm okay with that you're gonna cook your own food stay home it's fun man yeah it's easy you don't have to deal all the extra stuff you don't have to marinate you just go I just want this I just want this I'm like right it is over fun when you just say I just want a sandwich and they give it to you not you know they don't give you like two slices of bread and ham cheese and all that stuff

You're like in a subway like, I want a ham and cheese a great. Here you go and put it together. I'll just move that one up. The only times, I've only enjoyed Korean Barriqi twice, and it was when I went with Jared and Jenica when they cooked for me because they're like expert Korean cook. But every other time, it's like I don't like it. And recently went out with Dennis to eat hot pot and I didn't even try anything.

It was just like. Well, to be honest, I wasn't a big fan of that hot pot. spot. Sorry, James. It was all right. Yeah, it wasn't good. I mean, it was good. I mean, food. Well, it's like, um, someone told me, like, right when I got in, after I had ordered, like, the suit base, they're like, oh, don't do the spicy pork. Yeah. Because it's super, super spicy.

Oh, I just ordered, like, the medium slash mild. And I'm like, no, like, it's really hot. And I'm like, then what's the point of calling it mild or? And it's like, what's the point I'm going to a restaurant? You have to cook your own food. Even, like, um, I think a week, a week before, before that, didn't you? we go somewhere else where we had to oh no I didn't know what to order

that's what it was and I just would like I'll just have whatever Oh it was uh it was after the pop-up yeah After the pop-up yeah when we closed the up yeah and we went to some noodle place Yeah I remember it was like there was no parking and then um we had to like walk like two blocks Remember it was you were I took a picture you vaping on the street Oh yeah yeah it was after he closed yeah it was after he closed it was an Udon place in L'Otokio Yeah, that was yeah Yeah, and...

That was good. It was pretty good, but, you know... I was some good udon. I love my confidence. Everyone says I'm picky, but I'm not picky. I just know what I like. That sounds like you're picky. That sounds like you're picky.

I think it's literally what picky is. But I pick both you guys, so what does that say? I mean, you are very picky. We're two very particular people, so... That's true. You could have had anybody. You had to pick us. Yeah.

Because I don't want to do my job, so I just hired you guys do my job. Perfect. So to add to that, not just where they mess. with the heat. This one was like a fancier cream barbecue place. So like I think it started like 30 bucks a person and there are these like there's just like air vents that you could like pull down to like right on top

of the grill so it sucks up all the smoke. And like I try to get under there with like the little tong so I can flip my meat and like make sure it wasn't burned and they kept slamming it down and I'm like hey like I got this stop walking over and slamming down my air vent. It was really annoying. It was super super annoyed.

I wonder if there's an actual like reasoning because that happens to me a lot too. It was just like, you know, go and then they walk away, they come back and do something, move. I wonder if there's like a specific way they're trained to do this. Some places really hold your hand. Yeah. It's like, you look different than I do, so I'm going to go ahead and cut your meat and do everything for you. And Mike has the exact opposite problem because he looks exactly like them because he's Korean.

Yeah, he does not speak Korean. I know. I don't know how to speak an ounce of Korean. I think Dennis knows more Korean than you. Probably. I might know. Do you listen to K-pop? No, I hate K-pop, but I used to work with Korean.

Oh, okay, yeah. My parents never taught me an ounce of Korean. I think hidden, I think, like, secretly they did it so that he could talk behind my back, and I won't know. Because I'll hear, like, you know, them speaking Korean, and they'll say, Michael, continue, continue. I go, I'll look around, like, wait a minute. Wait a minute. They're talking about me, and I would have no idea. Well, that's why me and Dennis speak Spanish around you.

Yeah. So it's true. That silence is like perfect. So it's true. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. They do. But yeah, that's what grinds my gears today.

That's my California people thing. I'm pretty sure like no one else understands. Like, great, barbecue, that sounds great. Cook your own meat. My California people problem is my scooter got a flat tire recently. How did you even get the flat tire? I have no idea. I was just riding to work one day and I noticed I was going slower than usual.

So I just pulled over. He's trying to drift. And I was like, why is my tire flat? And I just went back home, Uber. But I paid someone 40 bucks to do it because I'm just lazy. Yeah, I looked at all the videos on YouTube and all the comments on the videos were like, this is literally the hardest thing I've ever done. Or, you know, people just saying, don't even bother trying to do this.

Just save yourself the hassle and just buy a new scooter even. Yeah, because it's that hard. Just buy a whole new scooter because you're doing. It was messed up. What was that? It was a scooter cost. $300. So I wasn't going to do that, obviously.

Yeah. That's ridiculous. But my landlord's grandson, he's a mechanic for Lid. No, Lyme. And it's a different scooter than mine. Lime's a scooter company. Oh, okay. Yeah.

Oh, is that the one without electric scooters around and you pay? Yeah, there's Lyme, there's a bird. There's like a lift. It has scooters now. My scooter's the same one as the bird one. Okay. But anyway, he's like, okay, well, this is. going to be super hard, but I'm going to need you to boil this tire for 10 minutes.

And this was at the same time my wife... Maybe you got a soup going. Well, my wife was trying to put my daughter down, and I help her at night with like the ball and stuff. So I'm trying to do both the same time. She's like, come here and help me. And I said, hold not I have to boil this tire. She had no idea what I was doing. But thankfully, he was able to get the tire on. And when he was done, he was drenched and sweat. Jesus.

Yeah, he was just like, man, that was such a pain in the butt. How long did it take him to do it? It took him like an hour. For a tire? Yeah. Just for one tire? It's really hard. Wow.

Geez. They replace a tire in a car? Yeah. If you get it, it takes, like, what, 20, 30 minutes, tops? Even quicker if you can do it. If you have all the tools ready, like, if you have like the spare compartment, it has all the tools right? If you don't get a kid the stupid, you call it. Yeah, you keep the thing to make the rigging nuts move.

Yeah. Oh, gosh. Yeah, well. They started an hour Did you get a scooter tire? But now that tire will never get flat again Because it's an airless tube Or airless tire.

Oh, that's kind of cool. It's a solid piece of rubber, right? It's just, oh, okay. That's one of the reasons why it was so hard is because it's not like a railroad tire. It's not like one where you can just like deflate and then it just like you can pump back up. You have to like, you have to boil it so it gets loosened

and then you stretch it But it's super freaking hard. Yeah. I used to do that for my mouth guards when I played, you boil it, and then, like, if the thing feels weird, you just boil it, and then you just, like, reform it. Why are you wearing mouth cards? LaCross.

California people problems? Actually, actually, lacrosse is not a huge, or California is in, like, no. Back then. That's a, Anaheim. Anaheim Hills people problem. Anaheim. Not really. More like.

Me and Dennis and Anaheim were playing, you know. Soccer with rocks. Soccer. He was playing lacrosse with boiling. mouth guard. Like, Mom, you don't need any mouth card. Just boil it. Just boil it.

You'll be fine. I used to bite my mouth cards though, so I'll put it on the side and bite it. So, like, one part will be perfect, that the other part would just be, like, jagged and, like, cut my, like, gums and stuff because I was just so dumb. I just went, I'll just gnaw on it when I was bored. We should make mouth cards that say Discord homies on them. Discord homies. Like a grill.

Like a gold grill. What's the... I thought you wore helmets in lacrosse now? Yeah. Yeah, we wear a ton of... Yeah. We still wear it because, like, the bottom part is open. So it's just like a...

It's kind of like a football helmet, if you think about it. Yeah. You know how the neck and everything isn't really covered. Right. You can still get punched or someone can hit you. That sounds pretty violent. I don't think I want to be playing that game. It's a pretty violent game if you get into it, but...

Mike's a risk taker. Apparently. the day I think the day before you started working here he went skydiving yeah yeah it was a week before yeah new job tomorrow let's jump out this plane yeah last night I asked something in our poppy chat and he's like hold on I have to climb some rocks yeah I'll let you know as soon as I'm climbing down this rock what does he heck is this guy doing everything he climbs up he tweets or he sends an

Instagram story then he climbs back down it's a lot safer like rock climbing and skydiving is way safer than like any other, like, truth be told, like, soccer is actually one in, like, the, not like the worst sports, but, like, most damaging, because all the times you're heading soccer balls, you get, like, CT and concussions because of that. That's why I don't do anything physical. Seriously. Yeah, play games all day.

Yeah. Play video games and just stay inside. Why get sunburn and get concussions when you could just... Pro tip, if you're listening to this podcast, you're not playing video games. So, go to some videos. Oh, you can play video games while I'll listen to podcasts. That's illegal. Yeah, multitasking.

is a myth. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I got allowed to do it. Yeah. So are you guys playing anything right now? Anything cool? I downloaded Minecraft last night.

On your Switch? My Switch? Yeah. I don't know if you can't. No, you could, it's crossplay. It is crossbox. It's a top of the table. Sorry about that.

So I downloaded Minecraft on my Switch because on Friday, I want to play on Griffin's server, but I don't know how to add his server on Switch, though. I don't know if you can. I don't think... I don't know if the switch will allow you to do it. No, it is allow you. What's what? I don't know.

I don't know. It's definitely... Oh, this is the mic, so I think it picks up whatever you're saying. Yeah, but it's not picking this up right now, so I don't know. We can just unplug it. You imagine we're making, like, a whole call to, like, the San Francisco office, and, like, don't tell them. I want to listen to the podcast before you come back.

Hold on. This podcast is great. Mike's talking about his mouthguards. Boil the mouth cards Oh my god This is the best Yo Korean Barbecue I hate that too

I hate that It will be interesting To see the reaction From this podcast Compared to the first one Because this one In my opinion It's really boring

This one right now Not boring But I feel like Like you have to kind of Want to know These dumb things about us I don't know A bunch of secret

People want to know Well I don't know We'll find out Yeah I mean These were a few times They're just going to trial runs We're just going to figure it out from here.

You're the boss. Yeah. Then, you know, obviously we're going to have a Google form, a survey after this. You guys can tell us exactly what you think, what you like and don't like. You know, if you want to hear more about mouth cards, we can add a mouthguard segment every time. Yeah. Yeah, but go back on you're saying, I don't think you can play with PC people on Switch. No, you can.

I swear you can. I don't know. Yeah, it's... I'll just say, I think. No, Minecraft you can play cross-based. platform on switch phone PC whatever it's interesting it might be only certain servers should I just google that right now

yeah do it it might be like certain servers because yeah because his is specifically like made for like PC so on switch I didn't see the option to add like a server URL it just gives you the option to add your friend and then you could join their thing their realm or whatever which is weird because there's I don't think you I don't think there's a friends list on... No, there's not a friends case of mine. You've calling me liars? Yeah, we're literally calling you a big old liar.

I don't think there's a friend's list on that. Are you telling me I bought Minecraft or not? You may have, actually. Why did I buy those games? So I got to play on PC. Well, I was, I was on my couch and I was too lazy to get off. Seriously. I was just lazy, so he just says everything else.

I'm a big fan of convenience. Definitely, you know. definitely a man in convenience scooters paying someone $40 to spend an hour boiling your tire I don't know I just I don't like to do hard things that I'm not used to doing you know that's how you learn well I think hard things I like doing hard things that I'm supposed to be doing you know what like podcasts this is hard I don't think it's very hard I just spent an hour doing a podcast and I'm changing a tire, right? In the middle of summer.

That's true. That's true. There's true. So, this would be a good time to talk about what we have going on this Friday with the community. Since you mentioned Minecraft. Dennis is abandoning us. Yes. So, I won't be here this weekend. You'll be

losing in the first match at Evo? Yep. I'll be to Evo in Las Vegas, which is the world's biggest fighting game tournament. I think we can safely say that. You're also taking Pucci to Area 51. Yep, taking Pucci to Area 51. So be ready for that.

If I don't come back, I'm getting experimented on. And trying to find my alien homies so I can give him goodnight kisses. But if I told you, I was experimenting on you right now. Ooh. I don't know about that. That sounds really, it sounds super sucks. I do play mind games with you guys.

Do you? I think I do. Do you think so? I don't know. Sometimes I look in your eyes and I think you guys are going to cry. right now see that look you're like is he serious is he serious right now or is you not serious

see that's the look right there I think uh Wes is trying to get a hold of us right now or something oh he needs the key what key I gave to him no no we have a

we have a open meeting room here so someone just walked up to the to the door just started us through it let's walk in Didn't you see the podcast recording time? Yeah, exactly. That's what a matter with you.

Yeah. Yeah, but I'll be, I'll beat Evo this Friday. So I think my street fighter pulls is at 8 p.m. on Friday. And apparently, I just found this something the other day. Apparently, Las Vegas is like sworn with crickets. Yeah. Yeah, because there's like a cricket migration or something like that. Yeah, it's really weird.

So, like, there's like all these memes of, like, crickets and, like, the club and stuff like that and all these weird, like, photoshopps from the, from the, uh, FGC, which is really, really odd. Are you taking any pictures of crickets? I might. I might take a picture of Pucci Coving Crickets. I might creep some people out. Ew. We'll see.

I don't know. I haven't seen anything about it in the past couple days, but, like, I know that, like, it was, like, a big old thing. Like, there are crickets literally everywhere. Just, like, you couldn't walk on the street without stepping up on the street. You know, crickets are technically locust? Are they? Yeah.

Are they really? Yeah. Call me a liar again? I didn't know that. I just... I remember watching a video. It's like a national geographic video. like these locusts like coming through

swimming. That's so scary. Like they're little farms and like small animals too. Like these things will eat anything and then literally it's just devastated. Not even like it's like a wildfire. It's just God. So like locusts belong to the

same order as grasshoppers and crickets. What's the difference between a grasshopper and a cricket? In a locust. I mean, I'm assuming locusts are bigger. Locust fly too. Like fly fly. You're all disgusting. Yeah. I don't that like in the Bible though?

Like, end days, locus, swarm. Like, yeah. Going for Las Vegas first. Going for Las Vegas first, city of sin, here I come. Bear me with my poochie. Is there a way for us to watch you on stream or anything? I hope I'm not on stream because I'm not that good. Like, I'm over a fighting game fan and, like, fan of the community than I am of, like,

really playing and putting in dedication to the game. So it takes a lot of time. like playing a fighting game. The hat and the hoodie checkout. Yeah. Like playing, I know right, I wore my evil gear just for this for today. Wes is wearing a street fighter shirt. Yep.

Because he was telling me yesterday during lunch and he was like, hey, I don't know what time I'm leaving, so I wore my shirt for you today. Good luck, man. I think Wes is secretly a wifu. Is he really? I think so because he's very stone-faced, and I feel like a lot of people feel like he looks like he might be mean, but he's actually like a super nice dude. And like the fact that even like thought about wearing a shirt for me because he knows going

to Evo is kind of adorable. Yeah. And he's not going to. This is the first Evo he's not going to since I've known him. Yeah. Really? Yeah. Yeah.

Last year he went and he lost to like a 16 year old girl in the first, the first match. First Evo I went to, I almost lost to a girl. It was scary. Not because she was a girl, but just like, it was my first Evo ever. and like I was like it was like neck and neck and when I beat her I like just jumped up and I'm like

yeah yeah and then like you know it's because I was popping off and then I'm like oh hey by the way good game you're gonna shake your hand like some kind of jerk but um but yeah so also Friday

we're having our community game nights on the Discord we do it every two weeks and Griff is actually going to be running Minecraft I believe for us So he has a custom server, or I think it's a Rome or something, right? It's a multiplayer.

Yeah, it's a multiplayer. Rome, right? I don't think it's row. Is it a room? It's just a regular server? I think it's like he, I think it was like 25 to 30 slots or something like that. Okay, yeah. So it may feel up quickly.

And apparently he does some really cool stuff with it. Like he was telling me the day how he uses like the, I don't know how it works, but he uses like the code blocks, like code dungeons and like bandits. So for what he's telling me, it kind of plays almost like an MMO or something, right? It's like a leveling, I think there's a leveling system. There's like random NPCs. There's like Raiders, bandits, people that will kill you. There's like clans.

There's gear that drops right. And everything, everything that he's done in this thing, he has built himself. So all the houses, all the coding, the names, the dialogue, the spawning, he's done all by himself. It's pretty crazy. It's pretty crazy that this kid was able to do this. How come you're not his intern? Dude, I, truth be told I probably would be. because I know it's like four coding languages.

And I don't even know one. So, yeah. He does some good stuff, though. He also has good treats. Like the little caffeine squares. Oh, my God, those coffee cubes. Was it three cups? Two cups coffee?

Three? No, yeah, three cups per each cube. Yeah, it's like these little chocolate cubes, right? Yeah, and it just... They're good. I like them. But then you text it in the Slack chat. Hey, guys, I feel funny.

I did. I felt it right away. It's really weird. It felt jittery. Yeah, it's like taking a shot of three shots, Expressor. Straight off like that. And it hits you pretty quick. So Mike, I know you're still playing Minecraft, so if you don't have to ask you. Ivan's playing. We tried to play Minecraft yesterday, right? Yeah, and I couldn't. I couldn't do it, yeah.

I've still been playing a little bit of rest, played some destiny again, so, you know, get back into that. I've been... Are you playing, like, fighting games to, like, warm up or something? I think because I don't care. Because there's the thing, right? Like, I'm not going to get to that level in, like, a week worth of training. Not with that attitude. Definitely won't.

I'll get to that level in one day. I definitely have to put in, I think, like, one to two months at least worth of time. Because it's like an instrument, you know. Well, anything, no matter what it is, requires 10,000 hours of practice before you're considered an expert. That's for anything. So that's, like, a video game. Fun facts with Ivan. The volume thing just changed up there, by the way.

That's fine. You've noticed that he always does that. He always drops these little facts and then he goes on. And I'm like, hey, seriously, the volume just changed. Something changed. But yeah, it takes 10,000 hours to be considered an expert or anything. And that includes a video game or like a lacrosse or whatever it is. So, you know, people brag about having a thousand hours in a game.

That's nothing. and you're still a nobs. Like all these pros, like, I'm sure, Daigo, how many hours do you think that guy has in Street Fighter? He's even playing since he was like a kid. That guy probably has $100,000 hours in that game. Easy. Not only just that game, but like multiple fighting games.

Yeah. And that's the thing, too. It's like you really can't just play one. I mean, you can and still be good at it, but, like, it really benefits to you to play something else. Like, I stopped playing Street Fighter for, like, two, three months, and I started playing, like, anything. Like, I was playing arms on the Switch

because there was, like, a small little community that was popping up down here. And like when it went back to Street Fighter, I felt like I was better because like my perspective had changed. I was playing in a different way. My mindset was different. And like I was recognizing things that were happening in this game but also happened in the other game. Like, oh, you know, like this is where, you know, so that's why like you'll see a lot of fighting game players play multiple games. Like they'll play Marvel and they'll play Street Fighter and maybe they'll play Tekken and we'll play like Soul Calibur or whatever else.

Unless you're a smash, then you only just play just smash. Like it's very, very few people. That's not a fighting game. It's definitely not a funny game. Triggers. But actually, funny thing, this is the first year where neither Street Fighter or Marvel is closing out Evo at the Sunday finals is going to be Smash.

Really? Smash ultimate got the most entrance. Which is surprising because Smash Online is garbage. It is, but Smash itself has a really dedicated, like, local community. Yeah, I know, because every time I say Smash Online is garbage, everyone at the office thinks, you know, crazy. Why are you talking Smack on Smash? I'm not talking to Smack, it's true.

Can't log on? I can't play a fighting game with lag. Yeah, even with Ethernet, my friends still have. Yeah, so that's what they tell me. They like, it buys adapter, yada, yada, yada. No, because Mario Kart doesn't have that lag. Right? Like, how does Mario Kart not have it?

You hear, folks, Mario Kart is a better finding game than Smash. It is more skill-based, I would say, in Smash. Really? Wow. Mario Kart? Okay, here we go. So for Evo, Smash Ultimate got 3,400 entrance. Street Fighter 5 is second with 1900.

Tekken is third with 1885, and he kind of goes down from there. But, yeah, but I mean like... Where's Pocket Rumble? Pocket Rumble? Dead. It's a dead game. That game was so fun. But it's funny because, like, regardless of the numbers, they've always had Smash or Marvel.

I mean, so Street Fighter or Marvel, it's like the last game that is played, and now it's going to be Smash, which is very interesting. Very, very interesting. I don't know how to feel about it, to be honest. Let's not how it goes. I'm not going to watch it. Because once Smash starts, I'm going to go home. Or go to the casinos and drink with the homies

or, you know, kiss them good night or whatever. It's like, people will do that. Well, like, they'll watch the finals for their game, and then they'll just leave. So, like, you know, I like watching most fighting games. I don't really care about Smash. I really, like, my opinion doesn't really matter whether I think it's a finding game or not.

Like, I just not a game that I care about, so I just don't watch it. Like, I'll watch Tekken and I'll watch, you know. Any game that gamers prefer to play on, like, a 13-inch CRT monitor is trash. Well, if you were talking about Mealy, yes, but this is actually, but this is the new smash. This is the new Smash on Switch. I know what you're doing. I know what you're doing. Yeah.

I have a funny smash story. I think you were there. We went to Jared's apartment, and we were waiting for him because he wasn't there. so we turned on his switch and oh he has smash let's be some smash and we see oh he has 350 hours in smash yeah so we thought oh this guy must be good he must have everything unlocked and he had literally nothing unlocked so i have no idea what he was doing on smash but he has 3050 hours and leaves it odd nothing unlocked yeah i don't know what's going on it's really really weird i don't know how you can accumulate that many hours in that game without getting something like

just listening to that we shop music which we'll hear before and after the podcast I'm assuming. Hashtag don't sue us, Nintendo. Smash isn't trash. I don't know if Nintendo really cares because they never really support it. It's just the online, man. The game is super fun. I unlocked everything.

It was really challenging and I loved it. And then I went to play online and it was just laggy. And the game's $60. So in my opinion A $60 game shouldn't require me To spend another $30 or whatever it is Just I can play online That's $100 right there

And then plus you want to buy that fighter pass Whatever it is Yeah It's like Street fighters already Done me dirty enough I think I've learned my lessons Speaking of which

Shifter has pretty bad online too Like it's not any better I think the only game that has really good online Is like Mortal Kombat Pretty much any like non-Japanese Developed Finding game has typically has a really good, really good online. I think it's just because, like, in the U.S.

and wherever we're used to playing online, and in Japan, like, the local thing is really big. Like, you'll just go to a local tournament and play there, as opposed to playing online, because you have, like, some of the best players in your city, just go play with them, and you'll just get better like that as opposed to, you know, getting beat up by Mexican Ken. Mexican Ken's are the worst.

It's, like... Sure, you can't? No, they're just dumb. Like, they play so dumb. they're the hard to beat because they do things that are so logical and every single time like you see a ken you look up and you'll see like the little flag where they're from and it's always Mexico Mexican Kenes Mexican Ken's have some crazy technique that no one knows how to be here. To spam me sure you can's man that's easy it's some other word stuff it's it's

it's hard to explain but it's really annoying. Mexican Ken's get out my game re you should just call it Mexican can. Boom. That's why you're poppy. You're like, dang, that was a good one. I'm saving this one. I want to tweak this out when I get out of this.

What you go to my Rashid, though? I don't know. I slapped you out when we played. That's true. I haven't played like in two years, though. I am officially the best in the office, which isn't really saying much, but I am officially the best in the office. But I know some of the guys in, I think one of the guys is, yes, he plays, he plays Tekken.

So I haven't played Tekken with him yet. Yeah. So I might just check that out and see what's up. But yeah, community night. Community game night. Friday. Friday. Go play.

I think it's pretty much any game people want to play. Yeah. You're just going to have people to do it. I think the way this you would just have a game. Like, this is the game we're playing. Come play it. And then next week. Now, this is the game I'm playing, and then we play it.

But I don't know if that'll fly. We have a lot of people on the server and very few people participate. And I think we should really get more on there. Like, I don't know. Yeah, we haven't been able to really play on Fridays. But this would be the first Friday where I think we'll get more more people participating so it should be fun And we have a lot of newbies in a server too it's true Yeah, we put out a advertisement discord homies.com

You got a lot of new users a lot of a lot of mutes A couple of bands I think you know as people don't know how to read the rules Well you know it's like you you get into a new Discord server and it's a ten minute timer you do two things You either read the channel you're in so you know what's going on or you just like leave and come back to him in Slater and you post some dumb meme about how anime is you know whatever and then you get banned don't mess with the anime sir the anime channel I I am literally watching it all the time I protect my webes Jimmy too he's on there yeah mm-hmm yeah the anime channel is my

wifu it must be protected at all costs gotta protect that smile Wow, silence. Yeah. That's what happens sometimes. What do we get into a little bit of news on since we're just chilling here? Yeah. Some NXT news. We got Supers in, right?

Yeah. So the 2070 Supercards are on build. I don't know about the other ones, but they should be there soon, if not already. Yeah. From what I heard, they've been selling out really quickly, too. Like, as soon as we put the Supers on, they're like, we're almost immediately gone. Because people have been waiting for the new cards. Well, that's super.

this is every day here in the office we'll say something and I just like hits it with like a really bad pun and then we save it for another tweet but my puns I think

they're dumb, they're really dumb I admit but I think they're very helpful they put you in that mindset just always like be thinking of where's the joke in this you know like everything should be there's a there's a joke in everything though yeah I'm always trying to think of a of a pun

it's pretty punny so supers we got supers in I think we'll hopefully have the new risons in too as well and that's been a trouble apparently it's not just us like a lot of people are having the same same thing yeah I don't know all the details of yeah I just know people were requesting them and I know we're trying to get them but I don't know the actual specifics of what it is yeah don't ask us we don't know anything we're just the We're just the mailman. Basically. And we're not even good at that.

Yeah, no. Obviously not, you know, for our discord homies. We're that mailman that, like, loses the mail. You know, leaves the expensive package on your front door so everyone can see it. Yeah. Always late. You know. He doesn't wear the shorts.

Doesn't wear the shorts. That's so you know that they're a good mailman when they don't care whether they're wearing pants or shorts. They're one of the shorts. Then you know that they're about it. A good male male might has to have good calves, right Mike? Good cow. That's true. The better of the cows, the better.

Yeah. The better the male man. Or male woman. Or a male woman, yeah. A male person. This is a male woman in my neighborhood. She's like, she's like yoked out. Like, I'm pretty sure she can like choke out anybody in my neighborhood.

Yeah, a lot of those male people. They're fit. They got to fit because, yeah. They're always walking and stuff. Yeah. I got to fit. I feel like male men and like, you. UPS people are usually like pretty fit.

Yeah, I worked at UPS for a long time and that's probably the best shape I ever was in my life. Yeah, you're just sweating like all the time. It's a big old six-pack? Not like that, but you know, just, I was like Mike, just lean. It's a lot of cardio, right? It's a lot of cardio, yeah. You just sweat, yeah, you just sweat and like you lift stuff all day, but it's not like necessarily heavy. Yeah, so you know, it's just like you're just constantly moving your body and...

I wonder what other like, you're just constantly moving your body and... I wonder what other like, you know, you're just, like, you're just, you're just, professions would like lean like lead you to being a bit more fit than other like Twitter fingers are pretty strong yeah I can type pretty quickly I mean I make a lot of I make a lot of errors but yeah I can think you can do that pretty quickly you're horrible at spacing I am very well like it's not my fault deal like emojis are so weird on Twitter like like like like you put a minute and it looks like it's the right spacing and you look over it's like three three in the middle and like damn I got it is

yeah formatting is not your no strong suit yeah I'm definitely not that's my department Yeah, definitely not got out formatting. That's like where I need to take extra training with the professor of poppy. You just need a alt account so you can practice. Yeah. Like me? That's like you've been thinking about it. Or I can use my account and just use it.

Test it out. It's actually your account. I've been using, since I started this, I've been using my account differently than I have in the past. And I enjoy my Twitter feed a lot more than when I used to tweet back in the day. before I got this job. Really? Yeah. What are you doing different?

I'm just thinking, I'm thinking less about it. I was tweeting like a PR person. And now I'm tweeting like a community person. The only PR tweet I did was this weekend was I was watching the score e-sports video and I saw a couple of people that I know from like the FGC in a video. I'm like, oh hey, I'm gonna, hey, I saw you guys this video,

just let you know, it's pretty cool. That was pretty much it. Shout out to the homies. Yeah, shout out to the Discord homies. Don't forget to come by for your kisses. Yeah. I don't even think I would have any social media if I didn't work in social media. The only thing I use myself is just my Twitter, like I'd even use like Instagram.

I have it, but I rarely post it. Like I'll do look at a story for like Evo. Like on my Twitter, I have an Evo story from last year, just pretty good. Still there? Yeah, still there. Yeah, you can look at it. It's long, though. I'm not going to watch it then.

Yeah, definitely don't. Yeah, but it was pretty cool, though. Yeah, you love Instagram stories. Yeah. I was doing the, you know, putting together report for the pop-up stuff. And when he came down to Instagram stories, Dennis did the stories on day one. And he posted 67 stories. And then Mike, I'm not saying he did a bad job, Mike, but I'm just into the difference in the amount.

Because we're at, because I learned on so many messages, yeah. You posted, like, average, like, 25 per day, which is, like, one-third of what this guy was doing. He loves the stories. I literally got like, multiple people going to like, dude, like, I'm just clicking through these things like I'm getting spanned. I'm like, we just have to. We just have to do this. Sorry.

It's like a one-time thing. Yeah. It's like we're always doing stories. Like I know certain like corporate accounts, branded accounts that like do stories all the time. And I'm like, I don't care about any of your stuff. But if it's like, you know, it's like an event. Like we never done a pop-up before.

So why wouldn't we do stories just go ham and retweet and do everything with it? It's like, you know, hey, I, I, I don't. did a thing, let me show you the thing that I just did. I think it's cool. You should think it's cool, too, if you like me. If you're a real top fan, you'll like this. Top fan. But can I get a free PC, though?

Can you get a free eat? Out of my Discord server? Let's take a break real quick. Yeah. All right, so let's go on and do some poppy advice right now, because I'm sure this is what everyone really wants to know, is what advice do you have for our community, Papi? Well, first of all, let me just say that was a great segue.

There was no pause in that. It was perfect. It's almost as if we didn't take a break in the middle of the topic about this. I was even paying attention. Would you ask me? I don't know. Do you have any advice for the community? We don't have any questions this time.

We're doing a more full cell mode. My only advice is just be more nice. You know, I actually updated the welcome message on the server yesterday because I noticed that a lot of, when newbies come to the server, because nobody reads. I don't read terms of service. I don't read none of that stuff either when I sent up for stuff. So for us to expect, you know, a 15-year-old kid to do something that me, almost 40-year-old man, doesn't want to do, it's kind of ridiculous, right? So I change the message, so it encourages people to hopefully be more friendly to each other,

welcome new people to the server instead of, you know, hey, don't spam here, don't grant for XP, or don't talk like that in here. It's just, you know, just be more friendly. Welcome your Discord homies. And give them kisses. No, I agree. I think that we definitely maybe should give the newbies

a little bit more leeway. I mean, obviously, like, you can kind of tell to tell, it's going to tell them right away who's going to be like a troublemaker or not like by their profile picture, like, by whatever their name is. Like sometimes you see them like...

That's when you see that anime profile picture, you're like, this guy's getting muted. Yeah, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, yeah. Yeah, but like I'm not saying we need to change moderation means change how we can I talk to people maybe you know like kind of be more like extending a helping hand than you know always having the hammer ready to go you know but there's sometimes people come in they'll say dumb stuff like don't spam the anime channel so I'll ask just don't

spam it right now I'm gonna spam it right now I actually I think I figured when it was like the other day Ivan was like actually spamming the anime channel with like emotes or something or or or gifts like like Ivan and I turned over and like stop it like leave the anime people alone like there's a million of the channels. I'm very protective of that channel. Is it a little baby? So he's just thing, right? Because we moderate the Discord so heavily and because like,

you know, we keep a PG, right? Like we don't allow profanity or NSW content anywhere. One part because we are partnered and we can't have it, but also because it's just, it just makes for a more better community. A more better community. Yeah, every Discord server I've ever been in has been toxic. It doesn't matter what server it is, who owns it or whatever. They always have the NSW channel. It's always toxic and it's always people, you know, posting stuff that,

you know, I would not want, you know, my wife, my daughter, my mom, my sisters. I don't want any any one of my family to see. So when we made our Discord server, I just made it a mission. We're not going to be like that. We're going to be the, even if we're the only server in the world that has, you know, really strict rules, it'll be worth it because the community will actually, you know, be based on something positive as opposed to, oh, we're just here to post stuff that's offensive. Yeah. And we all like it, you know, because that's basically whatever other Discord server that I've been in. And even the really, like, big ones that have rules.

Like, no one follows them. No, no. Yeah. Because it's really hard to moderate, like, huge, huge servers. 80,000 people in our Discord. But for what we have, it's Nisi kind of helps with that because of the profanity filter and stuff like that. So it helps a lot with that. And then if there was something, then moderates can come in.

It's like we kind of just come in and deal with the stuff that already kind of happened. So we don't have to, like, go through every single and always be on it 24-7. And I think just leads to like a more, you know, it's like I've been saying a more positive community. I'm in a couple of anime discords, and they always end up being kind of sketchy. Because, to be honest, like, anime in general already kind of has more of like an adult feeling to it. So it's one of those things where, you know, you'll have an anime character who's like scannily clad or something like that. So it's going to lead to like natural degeneracy. Or like, however the anime fans call it.

And our server has a really wholesome anime community. It's actually really nice to be able to talk about anime. without it getting weird and I'm like I don't want to be here anymore. It's definitely more u-woo than Owo. Yeah, for sure. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I like that, actually.

We should put them in the channel topic. Yeah. Keep it Ubu, not Owo. Cringe weeps. I like my weeps. Yeah. I think all... Yes, I think anime does have more of a dope vibe,

but I think animation and cartoons in general, um, Like sure, yeah, your Simpsons, your family guy, your South Park, your American dad, that's catered to adults. But even the little kid cartoons, they always throw like little Easter eggs in there for the parents. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Because now that I'm watching a lot of these older movies that I watched when I was a kid, I'm seeing them different now. Yeah.

It's like, what? That's like a joke for the parents, you know? And when you're a kid, you don't see it. So I think animation in general just kind of, it lets you get away with things that you can do in real, life so it always crosses that line right because like it's easy to like you know do like slapstick humor with someone getting hit or something like that is it

but like in cartoons I mean like SpongeBob there is a thing where he had like he was trying to get Gary to take a bath and he had two soaps and he goes look at the balloons don't drop them and like people you know like me as a kid I go oh

so he doesn't slip on I get it but now I go oh no yeah now I know but Dave You're like, this isn't Uboo! But they put that in SpongeBob, like, SpongeBob, like, SpongeBob all things. So I feel like you can do what, as long as it's, you know,

people will take things in a different way. And hopefully, you know, no one does anything like that, but, you know, anything on internet kind of thing. But I do agree sometimes the enemy kind of goes toops that route. It's very hard to keep things wholesome. But, I mean, I thought you guys were there at the pop-up, you witnessed a couple parents come up to us and even tell us that we're,

a positive influence on their children who are in the server. Yeah. And they appreciate the fact that we are strict, that we don't want them curse, that we do warn them. I think it was Nettella's mom, right? Yeah, because I've warned them. Yeah. She's like, no, no, no, no, mom, it's okay.

They don't allow profanity. It's actually a nice server, which is great. You know, like, I mean, that's what we want, you know? Like, you can go anywhere in the internet and get all kinds of mean things, profane things. Basically, the whole internet. especially community stuff in general like Twitter, Reddit, Facebook. It's just toxicity everywhere. It's very hard to not get caught in that.

We don't allow anybody to do it, whether you're an employee at the company or anything like that. You can't come into your server regardless. If Johnny came into the Discord server and wanted to throw bad words, I'm sure we would meet him. Oh, definitely. 100%. And I am ready for that day. We have to wield the ban hammer against the CEO in case he ever goes off the rails and wants to be mean on Discord.

It's like, no, you're going to be nice. There's a seven-day mute. Come back when you cooled off. So, yeah. I think it's pretty much it, right? You guys have anything else you want to bring up? In the 45-minute mark, anything important? Any more California problems?

We're going to a company. company Dodger game Saturday. Oh yeah, you're not going to go. Well, we as a company are going. You were not invited. I was invited. I declined because I was not going to be that. Me and Mike are going to go.

Yeah. I'm not a big baseball fan, but like. A lot of people aren't. It's okay. Yeah. But, you know, it's with the company, it's with friends. It's my first baseball game. So it's going to be, it's going to be interesting. What?

I never, I never like baseball. I never liked it. Being there is like pretty chill, though. Yeah, you can just relax. And it's actually since now it's like, now it's like, now I'm was like, more people instead of just like, you know, one or two friends. Like, it's actually going to be a lot more fun. I think it might be kind of a, it's going to be a mission to get like the little office to go to this game.

Yeah, a lot of us are going. I think we have like, especially Dodgers Stadium. We literally have a separate parking lot just for us. Seriously. I went to Dodger Stadium on Father's Day and I swore I would never go again. I'm going to go again. Yeah, so Father's Day, one of my sisters, actually, they all met up my parents' house. And they surprised all the dads with Dodger game tickets.

That's the most LA thing I've ever heard. Right. So the game starts at 6, right? So we leave Anaheim at 3. Okay. I get to Dodger Stadium, like I get to the entrance of Dodger Stadium at 5. Yeah. So it took two hours from Anaheim to downtown, just in that traffic, right?

I get to the Dodger Stadium at 5, and then from 5 to 6 was put. parking because there was so much traffic getting into the game and then um now i guess they change the rule now they don't even let you park where you want to park they direct you where and i have a child with me so obviously i want to park as close as possible to the stadium but i ended up parking over a mile away right so we get there right when the when the game starts um like we're walking to the game and then i'm hearing the game i'm hearing people cheering i'm like oh man what's going on and then um And then my family, so my other family, my parents, my sisters are already in there because

I guess they went a different way, right? You went into the cars. So I walk into the stadium and I have a baby stroller with me. And I can't go up the escalator with stroller. So I ask. Can't if you try. Well, you can't. It doesn't fit because it's too big.

It's too big. And my daughter was sleeping, so I couldn't wake up right. So I asked the security guard, hey, is there an elevator I can take? And he said there is, but they're out of service. So you have to take a service elevator that's on the opposite side of where I was. So our seats were in left field and the elevator was, no, our seats were on third base side and the elevator was first base side. So we had to walk around the whole stadium again after we came in. Take the service elevator.

Well, we waited like 30 minutes for that service elevator. because it barely runs. It goes up one level and it stops because it only goes up one level. And then we had to walk across the whole stadium again to take the other service elevator up another level. Jesus. And then we had to walk across to the other service elevator.

So never like on level three and three elevators later, right? To go up to the level where we're supposed to sit. But that elevator was also broken. So then I had to find another security guard or usher asked for help. they told me, okay, well, we have this other elevator, but it's not working, so you're going to take the escalator. And I'm like, okay, well, fine, it is what it is.

So take my daughter out of the stroller, fold up the stroller, go up the escalator. And we're finally in this, in our area, right? We're going to sit, but I have to check in the stroller because they don't let us take the stroller into the thing. So I'm trying to walk in, and the usher goes, you can't walk in here with that, sir. And so what did I do with it?

You have to check it in. I'm like, okay. So there was a line. I'd wait like 30 minutes to check in the stroller, right? Look, I'm not even telling my story, man. So I check in the stroller. And by this point, I'm like, I'm furious. I'm just like, why am I even here?

This is just dumb, right? I need a beer. So I wait 30 minutes for a beer. That cost me $17. And it wasn't even a good beer. because I think they only had Bud Light or something There's like Modelo, like one of those big

Modelo beers but $17 which is probably you can probably buy 40 Modellos with that much money Yeah So I get my beer You know and I finally sit down in my seat And I'm not even exaggerating

As soon as I sit down The announcer goes It's time for the seventh inning stretch I missed Pretty much the whole game So I just sat down and drank my beer and then went home. That was my...

That was your baseball sense. Well, actually, it doesn't end there. So we get... The game's over. We go to... It takes like an hour to get out, right? Of the stadium to the parking lot. It's just so many people.

Once we were in the parking lot, we had to sit in the car for another hour so everyone can leave the stadium before we can even get out. There was just so many people. And it was just a nightmare. And I swear I would never go again. And yet I'm going again on Saturday.

So, that's my story. We were, like, mad in the car the whole time? I was just kind of... At that point, I was over it. Like, I don't know. Have you guys ever seen me mad? I don't really get mad at that. No, not really.

I just don't care about anything. When something makes me upset, I just stop caring about it. I'm like, okay, this is dumb. I'm not going to care. Just move on my life. But it does drive me crazy. I get... I don't ever really get mad.

Like, I remember last time I was legitimately, like, actually angry at something. But I'll get really annoyed and, like, kind of snippy. I was getting grumpy And then I was like I don't know Like I think I'm same way It comes really quick

And then it goes away So like I'll be grumpy for a minute I just need to be Meanie bobini for a minute Trying to say it in a nice way Right And then once I get that out

Then I'm good I was gonna express myself For half a second And then I'm good But like yeah I'm not I didn't remember the last time I got mad

You want a person I play video games That's it But now Not in the Discord server. Not in the own private time where I can do whatever I want. Mike just bottles up his emotions. Yeah.

Doesn't let them out. And they eat some mangoes. I just eat mangoes to suppress it. That's all I do. He eats his mango feelings. I don't really get mad either. I just kind of go, whatever. If I do get annoyed, I kind of go like what that is.

It's like I'll get like a little snippy, but after that I go, whatever. And then I'll just walk away. Yeah. And then usually I'm fine if I eat it. eat. Yeah. Oh, if I eat, oh, it's eating. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I forgot about one piece of news. Since we actually officially, we tweeted this today. So the 510 elite, right? So Hovercunucks give us a review, which I think was pretty fair. It's a fair review, right? Like, I mean, I was kind of expecting that. And he mentioned that if you add a top fan on the 510 elite,

you get like a 5 degree difference in temperature, right? Celsius. Yeah, you know, cut the case open, you get more airflow. too. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. It is a, it is a correct statement. I thought it was funny because it was like, well, yeah, like, you know, if you, like, I remember doing that when I was a kid. Like, I had like a old metal beige box. So if I just bust the whole thing open, then yeah, it's going to be cooler because you open the whole thing up. Yeah. I saw it was a funny thing that he said. Like, again, I don't think it was a better view, but I was, you know, but, you know, but like someone who's not working that part, like I just were community, so it doesn't really

matter to me, like, reviews and stuff. I said, it's funny. He's like, yeah, you know, if you open up the entire case, you get a cooler, you get a cooler computer. I'm like, well, yeah, that's, that's literally how it works. Did you know if we take the, uh, the tires off my car, you know, it's a lot lighter, you know? It is.

So what's the, what's the news? The news is that we're not adding a top fan. So if you, if you previously bought, uh, well, like, I can't really buy the but if you receive a H510 Elite and you don't have a top fan pre-installed, hit up customer service and I'll send you a free one. And going forward, we're going to be including that in the box now. And that's all for free. We're not adding anything to the cost.

And the reason why those fans or that the rear fans were removed like that is because that case includes two RGB fans in the front because of the front tempered glass. And those fans alone are almost as much as the reds. regular five ten there's three dollar fans you know so it's sixty dollars with the fans and the they're expensive you know so yeah no it's not cheap like it's it's it's a thing that I noticed you from some people who were talking about like the the the pricing like if you take all the things apart including like the the smart device it's not cheap like it's a lot

of stuff we put in it like bring up that to get it to that price pointer it's to have it where we have it and compared to like even the 510 it's not that big of a jump you know I mean but like I get it you know people like oh they should have all kinds of stuff for it you know but yeah it is it is but anyway writing that top fan for free zes and if you don't have one when you get your 510 because I know we had a lot of pre-orders actually that people asking about it just call us and we'll we'll send on to you and zcd.com slash support wherever you are to right doesn't matter if you're 1 800 homies yeah 100 homies yeah it doesn't matter where you're a fan and some

kisses yeah chrisrim and service team they do a really good job they're great they rock it like um someone actually has hit me up on discord this morning like I wasn't even like fully up. He was like, hey, what's up? I was like, I have a question with my fan. I just got to build. And he has an A700 and a crack in X72 in it. Like the bottom fan isn't working.

I'm like, oh, like it doesn't spin? He's like, yeah, it doesn't spend the rest of them do. I'm like, okay, so I said, go to the cam, turn off silent, go to performance mode, make everything run as fast as it can. If it doesn't run, call customer support. He gets me up 20 minutes later as I'm driving to work. And he's like, oh, hey, they're going to send me a new fan today. I'm like, there you go.

Cool. That's it. Like, it's that quick. You know? Is that easy. Customer service is the only service. Exactly. Exactly.

No, it's a big thing for us, you know, make sure that we take care of people. Yeah. Like I remember someone recently, they had an H440. That's an old case. It's like a case I have at home. It's like five, six years old, right? It's from 2014. So it's, what, five, six, it's going on six.

It'll be six years next April. Yeah. Yeah. So like someone, I guess their front I have, one of the USB ports or a few other USB ports weren't working anymore. It's a customer service and you just send them a new board so you can just swap it up himself. Yeah, our cases have two-year warranties, but we support them. If we have them, yeah.

Yeah, if we can't too, like some there's some people that have cases from like 2004 or five. Someone's asking about like a phantom header and I'm like I don't even know if we would have like any like the only fans they have left or ones that we keep for ourselves for like, you know. Yeah, we haven't made a phantom since Mike was on. like sixth grade. What grade were you in in 2012? 2012? That'd be seven years ago, so that'd be yeah, it'd be elementary school, I think. No, middle school, middle school, middle school. Okay, okay, okay. And now here he is, grown man. Grow man. Become a grown man. Becoming, the old, the old, the old man of the group. You literally are the old man. I am the old man. Counting calories and all kinds of stuff. Taking naps in the office. Time for my morning or afternoon. Now,

taking a little sleep it was jet lag and I care about my house yeah I think someone asked me the other day or I was like a month ago for like a Manta side panel and I'm like

ah like that thing was this continued a long time ago well not really that long ago I want to say it was actually 20 Evan knows everything by the way no's too much

November 2017 Really? That's when we launched the new H series and we started phased the Manta out. So it wasn't that long ago. It's still my favorite case. But also wasn't the big of a seller, right? It wasn't as big of a seller as our other case

is just because Mini-ItX is only 10% of the market. You know, everyone usually gets ATX. It's the reason why we don't have the 410, right? Micro-ATX is even a smaller percentage of the market. I think that's like... I think it's less than 5%. Yeah, someone on Twitter asked, like, what is in the 410? I'm like, ask for it and we'll make it, if not people do.

But, like, you know, we just look at what we sell and what we don't sell. And fortunately, if we don't sell enough, he's, you know. Someone got mad at me because this is just yesterday. Yeah, they got mad at me on Reddit. The same message on Reddit because they're like, why are you guys making any black and yellow cases? Like, now I need to paint this. And I'm like, because the reason for the colors is not random. It's because those are the colors people buy.

The reason people buy those colors is because they match it with the other hardware that's out there. Right. So right now, there's no real yellow hardware, right? Yeah. Like there was a time, I think maybe two, three years ago, where there were several yellow motherboard, several yellow graphics cards, even RAM. Yeah. And we did make a yellow, a black and yellow S340 that was exclusive to, I think,

Yeah, micro center. And then we made all those exclusive colors for the ACHO for you. Dennis has a black and orange one. Yep. But at that time, you know, there was a lot more color options. Yeah. Right now, the trend is going more like white or black. And they make the RGBs, the actual colored case, yeah.

Like red and black and that's a pretty popular one. Yeah. Because like a lot of red stuff, right? Like MSI has read, the AISRG is right? HyperX is red. You know, so there's a lot of companies that used red in their in their color scheme. I had a lot of purple. It would be unique.

East purple. I'm actually thinking of doing. They're all purple. I only see purple. I was thinking, speaking of cases, I want to get the elite, but I kind of want to keep my age 40 and just trick it out with like all the NZXC stuff. Like I want to get like the hue and I want to get like the, the, what you call it, the pack controller. It's called top of my head. Grid plus.

Grid plus. And then I want to grab them. And then I would have to get the little. Internal Hub. So just have everything in their NZXT, but I think... You don't need any of that, just do what Mike's doing

with his new computer and he's just putting stickers on it like me. Yeah. Because my computer is probably the worst, like, it probably has the worst specs in the whole office, and yet it's the coolest computer

in the whole office. Just because those stickers. I started to play the stickers because I saw his and I was like, well, that was kind of cool. And then like a few more other people started posting it

and I'm like, God, I really want to put stickers on my computer down. The stickers, and then the etchers. panels that we don't do unless you're popping yeah unless you're poppy he gets the edge panels yeah the hardware is not what makes the computer cool like the same way like for example um a car right yeah just put a spoiler on the pencil it'll be dope there's different ways to customize a car you can

you can have you can have a car that has a spoiler on your scooter the best engine in the world and the car is just like boring, right? Every car looks like that. There's actually a lot of cars out here where these dudes have these really junky cars with super nice engines and they sound super loud

but it looks like he's rolling in like a garbage can. Their name is McKay. Ha ha ha ha ha, Macay. Just kidding. I give McKay a hard time because he has my dream car. Yeah, which is. And Jimmy too, the BRZ,

the Subaru Biori. I came this close to buying one and then my wife told me that she was pregnant yeah we read the dealer yeah we read the dealer um

so yeah two years ago Subaru had this crazy memorial day thing where you can lease a car with like no money down and the payment would be like a hundred dollars or something and we needed new cars

because we both drove really cheap yeah it was like a really great deal and we both drove really old cars so we had to get cars right so we go to Subaru my wife

and I test drove the outback which isn't out there right now loved it she's okay this is getting your car now let me get my car you know she and then she just said i think we should hold off on this one because um you know we just got this one let's come back tomorrow so it's all right cool she was sneaky about it yeah and then that night is when she told me she was pregnant and then first thing i asked was like does this mean i'm not going to buy that But, yeah. Was she pissed?

No. No, it was just, I mean, the car's a two-seater. Obviously, it's not very practical. Yeah, true. And then babies are really expensive. They are very expensive. Babies are expensive. That's why I write a scooter.

That's the poppy advice of the day. Babies are very expensive. So don't have a baby. They are. Well, oh, here we go. I guess they're expensive, but not in a, not in a money sense

like time and energy kind of thing because time is money and you can always make more time oh sorry you can always make more money but you can never make more time so yeah it is it is kind of annoying

whereas like every week you're spending you know $50 on diapers $50 in formula $50 on like these other things but it's the other stuff it's oh I have to watch this person the entire time she's awake

or else she would probably crack your head open. So, you know, until hour or half the day that they're awake, you're just, like, watching them. And the second you turn around, not paying attention to them, that's when they, you know, get hurt, start crying. So it's just... Cause trouble. Yeah. It's time is really expensive.

I think Griff is telling me about this game that's like you play the dad or you play the baby, and the baby's trying to kill itself, and you have to basically run after the baby, make sure it doesn't... It takes, like, a fork in the socket or something. That game is called the community team at NZT I'm just watching you guys Don't hurt yourself now Mike Don't hurt yourself or Dennis Watch out with that for

Watch out with that tweet I mean if you think about it Like human babies are really dumb Compared to like baby animals Like sharks They already know how to hunt the moment they leave But then like for us it's like nope I have to take care of them for like

Four years until they can walk One thing, probably my biggest lesson I learned from having a child is I look at people way differently now. Before, when I used to see a kid that was a little troublemaker, I would think I was this dumb kid just kind of trouble. I would blame the kid, right? I would just think that kid was an annoying, bad kid. Now I realize it's the parent. The parents, the parents that didn't teach him not to do that. The parents that led him get away with that.

Because it's not easy to raise a child. Like my wife gets at me all the time because I don't like to punish my child. I don't like to tell her, no. Like whatever she wants to do, I'm like, yeah, whatever. And then I was going to be very firm with her. So now when I see people like you guys even, I always think at one point, these guys were babies. And I don't know how you guys' parents were, but everyone has different parents. My parents raised me a certain way.

Your parents raise you a certain way. Your parents raise you a certain way. everyone listening your parents raise you a certain way some people have two parents some people have one parents and people have no parents so everyone's different so you kind of have to like realize people are who they are not necessarily by choice even though yeah you can you know be who you want to be but everyone's brought up to be kind of who they end up being you know and that's what what kind of really get to be now is when I talk to people, I just think they were a baby. Like wait, because they were a baby.

They were a baby. You see people that are our age or, you know, your age and they act very like either immature or maybe they're rude, maybe they curse all the time, maybe they do a lot of drugs, maybe they like to argue. Whatever it is, it's because they were somehow trained to be like that in their upbringing. whether it's from their parents or whatever, like,

it could be their environment as well, but it's not necessarily always, like, oh, that person's, like, a jerk because they want to be a jerk. It's, no, it's, somehow, something led them to be like that, you know? Sometimes they can help it, you know? I actually have a question. Are you going to do, like, the,

are you going to be very, like, strict, or are you going to be very, like, you know, I'll set these boundaries. If you push the boundaries, then I'll say something, or just kind of... So I thought I was going to be... She'll do whatever she wants.

Daddy's little girl. To a certain extent, I am like very lenient with her, but I'm starting to tell her no more, starting to teach her more, because I'm starting to see what happens when I don't. She starts doing it out of the style. Yeah, like, before she used to, like, kind of like slap me and laugh,

and I would think it was super cute. But then that she started getting bigger, you're hurting more. She's not hit people because my wife told me that she started hitting people, started hitting her cousin. And one of the reasons is because, yeah, I was showing her, like, this is fun. Your dad's laughing because you're hitting him. Babies don't know, oh, that hurt someone.

It's just like, that's how you get something to laugh. Boom. And then, yeah, so I'm starting to get more, not strict, but just kind of teaching her, like, the boundaries in. Yeah, like, look, it's not right to do this. It's not right to do that. Okay. Yeah.

Kind of like with you guys, you know. I'm very, very lenient with you guys. I just try to guide you, you know. I like to let you guys learn on your own. Where's babies? I'm just here if you need me, you know, to show you the way. He looks at this and he just sees babies. They're babies.

You imagine I just walked up. He's like, time to change your diaper. I don't know. We have to talk about this. Yeah. The diaper is Trello. And there's your Trello mention for the. technically third time now

technically third time now how good does it feel to get stuff off with Trullo though it feels really good I love I love doing checklist things the check marks is great the part that bugs me the most is when I do something and then right after I do it you check it off for me I'm like no I did this you didn't do it let me check it off I have to do something here you do you come up with the formatting that's true that's your that's your that's a picture yeah the picture

What picture? The poppy And I just like upside down And then to the left Slightly to the right Yeah It always triggers me When it's something metal

And I don't know if you notice But I use a certain sticker For certain days now And like the position does It's how I'm feeling So It's perfectly straight Like in the middle

And it's the original set poppy It means like Taking care of business today, boy It's like This is no messing around I'm like, we're just focus on it. If it's like the half poppy upside down, it means feeling kind of like goofy. Today it was the young poppy.

It was just kind of like the chill day because we're not, today we had a lot of stuff to do outside of social media. So today's like the day we're like, okay, we're just going to chill and get these other things done. Now you know. Oh. Yeah, I should probably add that to the Trello board like Poppy mood board. like a poppy mood board

like the green yellow red thing it's just it's just different in positionings who made the sad puppy emu oh yeah um I did you did really you spent time like oh no I saw it

I just called him set poppy oh is that what you're doing no what I did I come up with that um I basically well I just basically wanted to combine sad pepe with poppy so like sad poppy

and then I was just I just had this thing in my head what would that email look like and I had seen that picture on Urban Dictionary for the definition of Normies

it's that it's that picture and I just I remember I just had it saved on my computer because I found it hilarious and I'm like that is Sad Poppy you right there so yeah I had to think about it was Sad Pepe's like actual thing because like in my head because every time we like use the

poppy email it's sad poppy i'm like well it doesn't look sad and then now i realized my and well the whole sad poppy thing started because I did start getting really sad where I still get sad to the day when when like someone in the community

gets warned or banned or when people in the community are arguing it does make me sad so that's the whole thing is like man you guys are making me really sad like I'm a sad poppy today you know that's a little it started because of that and then um After the sad poppy emo, then Cuddle made the young poppy, which is awesome.

And then he made the half poppy, which is like, Young Pappy Hap Poppy, Half, That's a lot of good emotes on the Discord. A lot of good emotes on the Discord server. We'd add more. I think you have like 80-something slots available still. Oh, really? We should add more then. I was looking, yeah. Saturred. They make a Trello card for that.

Satur. When it added the Kissy-Face Clown emote, I saw how many you had available. Like 80 available. I'm like, that's a lot of emotes we can have on the server. We should bring in some of our Slack emotes. We have not good ones on Slack. You should, yeah.

Do you notice that after me of the Jared demo, we have like five other ones now that people just made on their own? Really? Yeah. We should warn them. I think Vivian told me. Someone, I think it might have been like Annie was like, oh, you know, so you made a Jared demo, we should make one for you.

And I'm like, it's okay. Like, I don't need an ammo. Like, I don't. like someone's a make it they make it but I'm not going to make it myself like that's weird making your own emote so you're just wearing my sad puppy yeah it was different though yeah it's totally weird man

super weird I don't know it just makes me feel uncomfortable it's like it's like putting myself out to like that it's like I just I just want to work I just want to work and do fun stuff I feel like I make everything uncomfortable yeah you definitely do because I'm sure there's because now when I talk to you I don't know that you think of me as a baby

well no I'm just being like general like he's a baby. There's been parents that I've talked to because someone in our server will be like, hey, my dad thinks it's really weird that some guy Poppy is sending me free stickers in email.

Can you talk to him? So I've talked to parents. I've given them my phone and I'm like, sure, man. Like, someone to call me and I'll just tell him like, look, there's nothing weird going on here. This is what my company does or our company does. Here's what this community is all about. Here's why we're sending them free stickers.

And after I explained to the parent, they're like, oh, okay. kind of realized, okay, this is not some creepy dude. Made Bob that he said these stickers. Yeah, seriously. Hey, Katie, want some stickers? Give me your address. And then talking about, like, you know, kissing each other goodnight.

Kissing, kissing. Oh, my God. I can't imagine. I'm like, why is someone kissing you good night? Well, I mean, that's, you know, my holmes. You kiss someone good night? You kiss your own? Because when you have a homie, you have nothing but love for him, right?

Mm-hmm. Yeah, I'll kiss you guys. Good night. Why not? All right. All right. Podcasts over. All right, guys.

I'll see you guys in Human Resources. What's everybody? Welcome to the NZXT Club bonus podcast with Den ZXT and Mike Kim. Intern Mike Kim. What's going on? Hello, how's it going? Good. So I've been sitting here right now.

We're solving some audio issues. We were actually had a podcast fully recorded with Griff, our little intern, the intern for intern. and the audio quality was not good, so we decided to keep it for the B-sides, you know, extra recording. But since you're here right now, I actually wanted to ask you a question, Mike. Okay.

What do you think of Ivan? Because everyone talks about Ivan is like, oh, man, that's Bobby. You know, that's the guy who runs all the social media for Frenz EXT. But I'm curious, just him as a person. What do you think about Ivan? Hmm, as a person. And he won't hear this until.

the podcast is up. Oh, okay. I'm going to send this to myself. Okay. Edit it in. Well, I think as a person, I think he's great. He's definitely, like, as a boss, as someone that, you know, is showing an intern what to do and trusting the intern to do something, he is by far one of the best bosses I ever worked for because a lot of internships I've had, a lot of jobs I've had, it was just like, here's a work. Don't talk to me until the end of the day.

Goodbye. And that's it. And for him to trust me to do things like posting on Instagram, replying to DMs, doing tweets, replying to those, handling certain, like, advertisements, stuff like that, like allowing him to trust me with that is like, it's something I could have never even thought of asking for. Like my expectations for an internship because my last internship were very low. I thought I was just going to be doing ads pretty much. Yeah.

Coming in, he was like, hey, are you doing? Want to go get lunch? And I'm just like, wait, what? He's actually a really friendly person. Yeah. When I started, so when I, when I got hired, I was literally my way out from my previous job, working with Black Desert. And like before I even started the job, right? So like, I went in for the interview apparently liked me because I got the offer like that same day. Like, you know, like me and my girl were going at the dinner. It's like, hey, you know, I got the interview for ZXTs going today. I'm being your, you can be in your hood.

You know, let's go grab some lunch. Oh, yeah, sounds great. That's great. Or some dinner. And then I'm in the parking lot waiting for her, right, to arrive so you can grab some food. And they get a call from who was people off at the time. And he's like, hey, so yeah, we want to offer you the job. And I'm like, what?

He's like, yeah. He's like, so like how much you want and when can you start, you know? So like it was like that day, right? And then like pretty much like immediately like from me being officially, like for me officially accepting the job. like I've hit me up on Discord like right away. It's like, ah, I found you on Discord. And I'm like, what the heck? And like, he just kept talking to me.

Like before I was in like, before I even stepped foot into the office, we were already talking. And like, at first I was kind of thrown aback because I was like, this guy just really wants to like bug me. And it was really, it's very surprising because normally like the last job I had, they had this weird hiring policy where like once you were, you accepted the offer or they extended the offer and you accept. you started on the third of the next month right so there was like yeah so it was like a whole month where I didn't have a job or or it wasn't doing anything but I had a job lined up so it was kind of really really weird and then I didn't have any contact with the company until like pretty much like a day two three days before I actually started and I was like hey so I'm let you know this is when you

know when you're starting and you bring this bring this and bring that so it was really really weird for me because like there was like a point in time or like I'm sitting there and I'm like I know I got this offer it's in the email They told me they want me. Do I still have a job? Like, what if they forgot about me? Right? He's like, oh yeah, you're coming today, huh?

But like from, from like me being brought on Ivan from the get-go, was just like talking to me on Discord. And we were coming, you know, having a chat and wanted to know my premature thing about me. And it's something that I've never experienced before, having somebody actually care that much. Yeah. And I think that speaks to the culture of like NZXT and just the culture of like Ivan and the social media team and the community team in general is like, he wants you to be there. He wants you to be about it because he's.

because he's really about it and he wouldn't have brought you on unless he knew you were about it too. So that's been something that I still haven't gotten used to is like 11 at night, right? I'm streaming or something and he's like, hey, what do we stream? You know, what are we tweeting? Yeah, what are we tweeting? And I'm like, oh, man, it's like, I had a great idea in the car or something, right? And then we just spent an hour talking about what the tweet and then we actually put it out. And then be like, all right, let's see what happens, right?

Yeah, but Ivan gets a lot of love from the community. And it's not for any other reason other than he's been there and he cares and he'll be there for you. Like one of our, I think one of our mods or apprentices on the Discord, he bought a AIO from a unnamed company. It wasn't our CPU cooler and it broke and leaked stuff all over. Oh, right. Destroyed it. Destroyed the actual computer. And apparently they were unwilling to like replace the parts in his PC.

And that means like, like, do we're wearing. we got you well I got you what's your address I'll ship you some extra parts that I have right and that's just like obviously we're not going to do it for everybody right but like you know he's been there forever and he helps us a lot with with the discord and just make sense you know and like I've done a little bit with that too we're like after that I started talking to him hey man you know I was like I heard this what happened like what's going on and then we became pretty good buddies and like he pops in my stream and we play we would play fortnight together every now and then right but yeah like it's it's it's it's an interesting

interesting culture because like I whenever I work with a community I was going to be a part of it right yeah like when I was working in the fighting game community I threw myself in like I suck at fighting games I am not good I'm going to evo in a couple days right and I know I'm going to get my butt handed to me I'm going to go oh and two in every pool I send over four games street fighter sent it for mortar combat I send up for uh samurai showdown and I send it for sole caliber and the only game I really put any time into is Street Fighter 5 and also haven't launched it in like a month and a half I stopped playing sole caliber I haven't even touched Samurai showdown I was gonna buy it but my girlfriend has my my PlayStation so I couldn't buy it there and I barely touch MK for less than like a week right but

like whenever I'm in the community I throw myself into it and I can I feel the same way from Ivan that like he'll he'll do the same thing too that kind of makes him want to keep going it makes it want to keep working not just for myself also working for the community else working for him right because like I know he's done this all by himself for five five years five years man and I can't imagine doing that dude we're busy already and he did all this by himself and I think I think I also speaks a lot like that he trusts us for something this is pretty much his baby right yeah yeah he's made the social media and he's trusting us with this baby that he's grown and created by himself to go you know I trust you guys

yeah take care of the DEMs take care of the post take care of all this stuff I trust you it's it feels weird because especially for an intern Like me, it's weird because he's like, yeah, just take it. Take it over, yeah, yeah. Like, imagine if you were running, if you were doing an internship in social media, let's say, for the company who is not a competitor, say like EA, right? If you're on the EA community team as an intern, you think they're going to give you control their Twitter for a day? Heck no.

No, they wouldn't. They wouldn't. They wouldn't. I don't think that would actually even touch it. We would have to go through, like, rigorous amounts of team, like, create, creative things and just like, okay, this is okay, this is not, this is okay, we'll get these two,

we'll figure out something here, but it won't be mine. It will, like, whenever we tweet something, it's usually someone's. It's usually someone's thing. Like, I was talking with, with Griff about the Discord homies thing because I sent him a picture of the, there's like a cat walking, and it's like,

me on, it's like a cute little cat with stubby legs, and it's just walking, and it's like, me on my way to kiss my homies good night. And I go, dude, we should do something like this. And it Griff goes, what if we combine my idea with that one? I go, yeah, take it. It's all yours. And he made our tweet, and now it's like our thing.

And it's crazy because, like, it's our ideas. It's not like 360, it's like 360 turnarounds where it's just like, it ends up not being us. And Ivan's letting us do that, which is weird. He sees it and he goes, that's a tweet. And then we work on it and then we put it out and then ends up, either hits or it doesn't. But the fact that he lets us fail on Twitter,

it lets us fail on Facebook. It lets us succeed on Facebook because for some reason, I have the pulse on the Facebook people. Believe it or not, guys, we are on Facebook. We do use Facebook. We have a pretty, I'd say pretty big Facebook following. No, we have a really big Facebook following. And like when it hits, it hits, right?

And it's like, doesn't matter who did it, but now I'm the Facebook guy. Yeah, yeah. Because I don't think I've touched Facebook since, like, middle school and I'm 21. So that's been a whole. while since I've touched it. Well, like, I'm not going to say much older than you, but I'm definitely old than you. And, like, I remember before Facebook was around and then using Facebook and then falling off of it. So, like, I was there from the beginning to the rise and that was the place to be to now it's like kind of a dead beam for a lot of people.

But, like, it's, you know, but Facebook is still huge. Yeah, it's still, it's still one of the biggest platforms in the entire world. Every person who says they don't use their Facebook still has a Facebook. Yes. Because you know who's on Facebook? Your mom and your dad and your uncle. and your uncles Yeah

Yeah And he's like Oh you know Sweetie happy birthday You know And like to your grandma That's you connecting right But we also have a lot of older people

Older builders who are on Facebook And those are the peeps that we That we uh hit And secret weeps They come out of caves They come out of closets and just like Okay It's a it's an enemy meme

Yeah So yeah Yeah so I know this This kind of Went from being an Ivan thing To being a you and me Facebook thing Yeah.

But like that just speaks to like how much you want to be here and how, you know, like how, I guess like how much you enjoy working with NXC and working on the community team and working on social that I haven't even gives us the opportunity to be excited about work, you know? It's one of those things where it's like I actually look forward to coming to work. A lot of my friends are very tired or like, oh, I can't wait. Like when we talk about it, it's like when you're waiting for a weekend, that's an escape. but like for me it's like no matter what I'm always checking Slack checking Instagram checking Twitter and I see it I see it yeah because you're always there because you were was it was it was it Sunday or was it was it was it Saturday it was Friday through Monday I was gone for a family business thing yeah yeah so like yeah so so so so so

so I even Dends me and he's like hey I'm gonna take a couple days off so you know make sure you're checking on Instagram okay and then go to Instagram and you're so responding my dude like you're supposed to be gone like stop but like you literally can't it's it's it's one of those things where it's like you wake up the first thing you do is how many how many do I have to do it you just look at go I got like 99 plus requests oh it's got to be like 150 300 or something like that but but like we see it it's like it's gonna get done we got to we're gonna do it's it's it's gonna happen like first thing I do when I wake up is it's a check Twitter I check our Twitter and I see who who added us how you who posted our

builds that you know we want to thank and who you know who I don't check DMs because customer service handles it does I do watch over it but also see like who that we follow what do they post right or what what that our post the night before did right but that's like it's like I've only been here so long and I haven't once they do it and you you know especially you're like an intern right so it's not like you know so like you might in you know you might even be here you know like you might after you graduate go to like another company right but like the fact that he's let you take control over something is insane when he's been doing it for five years. Like it's like that's that's, you know, that's the kind of guy.

And I think, I think he, I think he rowdy, he spoiled us a lot. Oh, he definitely spoils us. You know, he brings us to dinner, to lunch, doing all the stuff, paying him. Like, he doesn't have to do that at all. I probably, other than Harry, have the best PC in the office. Really? I got the, I got a ridiculous I7 with the Crackin'X 72. right eight 700 case right with all the fixings on it the 700 i not just 700 700 i with like a

dumb amount of ram and like a bunch of you know a bunch of stuff on it and he's like you're with puppy you get the best right um you know because ibbin's also like an old head you know he's like an o g in the company he was he told me when i first started he was like he's like i remember when this company was only 20 people yeah and johnny was doing customer service tickets and johnny was doing builds or whatever in the back, you know, and doing all kinds of stuff. And he's like, now, you know, we can bring on interns and we can hire someone to take on the load

for the community team. So, you know, I've been, you know, Evan's dope. Yeah. And I don't know, like, how far this will go. But, like, if I do get a full-time or, like, they offer me something, I'm not hesitated. 100% here he's like, yes.

Like, like, I would literally be, like, just give me the paper. Because, like, this is something that, One, I never thought I would absolutely love doing it because I thought it would be like, you know, I have experience in social media, but, you know, like, a lot of the things that I've done in the past were really not good. It was grunt work. But then ever since I started doing this, I have never had so much fun. People, I have my friend group that I've been gaming with since high school, middle school. And they send me tweets like, Mike, I can't believe you tweeted this because one of our things is mine diamonds to really take on me song. we made an actual thing on the Instagram story and they go Mike did it he actually did it for us boys and it was really funny and I actually really

like I said I enjoy coming to work and going all right what new meme are we thinking of and I think we just have to think Ivan just how much he's done for us so like you said Ivan won't hear this until until we finished this second episode this A-side episode and I edited out and add all the fun

me music stuff. Here's a question. Should I put it before or after the wee music? Like this, this part? Oh, probably after. I think if you do it like the end and then it comes on as this, I think it would be really funny

because like, you know, it's the funny part if he never even hears it. If he never even hears it. And then he's like, wait a minute, why is there an extra chunk? Why is there like another like... Did you screw up on the editing again? Eddie hears this. So, yeah. I haven. I haven. Thanks for everything.

you know I know when I was looking at this job like if if I didn't get the impression that you guys were about what you guys were about when I was in the interview I probably wouldn't have taken the job because I had enough like to like get unemployment for a little bit and like look for something else because like for me especially being as little as I am and working as many places and done as many contract stuff as I have in the past like I want to be somewhere I want to die at a company essentially, you know. I want to be like that, like, salary businessman, you know, like, Jevety Businessman, this is the company and this is where they're going to be with.

Like retires with, like, retires with a team kind of thing. Yeah. A lot of sports legends do. God, can you imagine Ivan retiring, dude? I don't know how to feel about that. Do you think he's ever going to retire? He might just die on Twitter mid-tweet. Like, he's just like, he's like, I got a meme, boys.

But I mean, I can't think about that. I can't think of him retiring. I'm going to the big puppy in the sky. I don't know. I can never imagine that. It's a little dark. It's a little dark, yeah. But like, for me, it's definitely like where, like, I'm looking.

Like, if this is the last place I work at, I'm down, 100% down. But yeah. I don't know. It's a little sappy little love thing. It's like a love letter to Ivan pretty much. This is us kissing our Discord, homie. This is it. This is an auditory good night homie.

kiss. It's like a Marvel end credit scene. Oh yeah. This is like the extra. This is after the credits. After the credits. We're like, no way. This is what they're doing. We're set we're setting up for phase three right now. We're ready. Episode three. This would be phase three, wouldn't it? Yeah, because this is episode three. Yeah. Yeah. I think so. Yeah. All right. So with that, we're going to close it up because I think people want to get into the meeting room that we commandeered. So thanks guys. Appreciate it. Thank you, Ivan, for everything. Thank you. And, yeah, we'll see you next time.

Bye.
